Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A device for performing a surgical procedure comprising an elongated shaft extending between a proximal end and a distal end and including an outer surface and an inner surface, the inner surface defining a passageway. A stylet is configured for moveable disposal within the passageway of the elongated shaft. The stylet includes a blunt distal tip configured for disposal outside the distal end of the elongated shaft and to prevent damage to adjacent tissue. An expandable member includes a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end of the expandable member is disposed with the distal end of the elongated shaft and the distal end of the expandable member is connected to the distal end of the stylet. At least one electrode disposed with the expandable member.
